Description

The method of segmenting structure and graphics processing unit in image data set
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for method and a kind of graphics processing unit for carrying out the method at the image data set segmenting structure.
Background technology
To being a part and parcel for the analysis of view data (particularly medical image) cutting apart of anatomical structure.Important example has: to the planning of surgical intervention, and the inspection of the cubing of organ, to the judgement of metabolic process, the perhaps statistical modeling of organ.
At this, about the image information of three-dimensional (3D) structure, normally occur according to the sequence such as two dimension (2D) scanning slice of the image mode of computed tomograph (CT) or magnetic resonance tomography instrument (MRT).Therefore, usually must at first be partitioned into the desirable structure in each scanning slice, can comprehensively be the 3D structure with it just then.But, also there has been the partitioning algorithm of directly cutting apart for to the 3D structure.
Almost can not realize cutting apart for the full automatic of medical image according to present technical merit.Therefore unavoidable is that the user must be able to intervene independently during cutting apart.According to the difference of the partitioning algorithm that adopts, the user was cut apart according to the different mode interventions, in order to control the result according to desirable mode.
There is the different algorithms that is used for interactive segmentation.At this, can distinguish inter alia two different main group: based on the partitioning algorithm of profile and based on the partitioning algorithm in zone.As the exemplary partitioning algorithm based on profile, at this so-called Livewire method is described momently.The method has been established as from 3D data group organ structure high-quality interactive segmentation qualitatively.It particularly is extremely reliable under the condition of strong picture contrast.Yet, under the condition of weak picture contrast, often need the too much intervention of user in order to realize the acceptable result.
The key concept of Livewire method is as follows: starting point of (for example by means of cursor or mouse) mark on the profile of the structure of user in the image data set that illustrates, then with cursor movement to another position in this image data set.The Livewire algorithm calculates the variation of the profile of the position from starting point to current cursor.Adopt so-called cost function, this function allows to calculate the path of satisfying best specified criteria for this reason, and is for example minimum along the change of the gradient absolute value in this path.If the path of this calculating correctly is not positioned on the profile of structure, then the user can be for example by simple click and mobile intervention to this path with proofreading and correct.More specifically, for example at " the Interactive Live-Wire Boundary Extraction " of W.A.Barret and E.N.Mortensen (1997), Medical Image Analysis, Vol.1 is described among No.4.pp.33 1341.CVPR ' the 99#107 page 6/7.
As for the example based on the partitioning algorithm in zone, so-called GraphCut method is described momently.The method also has been established as high-quality qualitatively, and has also realized good result under the condition of weak picture contrast.The user marks the image-region that is positioned at inside configuration and the image-region that is positioned at structural outer in the GraphCut method.Also by means of the uncontinuity of the maximum between these zones of cost function calculation, this cost function comprises for example gray value information in the zone of institute's mark as criterion to the GraphCut method.This maximum uncontinuity is corresponding to the border of structure.If the result after cutting apart first is also unsatisfactory, then can mark other inside and outside zone, until present acceptable segmentation result.For example in US 2004/0008886A1, provided the more specifically description for GraphCut algorithm and relevant cost function.
By means of this partitioning algorithm, the user operates by given 3D rendering data group layer by layer, until be partitioned into total.According to the partitioning algorithm that adopts and the difference of the picture contrast that occurs separately, the user may be forced to intervene frequently, and this point has prolonged the processing time to 3D rendering data group significantly.
Therefore, also have the demand for user-friendly partitioning algorithm, this partitioning algorithm allows cutting apart rapidly structure as far as possible intuitively and along with few reciprocation.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved in the present invention is, a kind of method be used to cutting apart is provided, and on few intuitively operation steps, these operation stepss are so that can effectively operate with the interaction constraints of needed user and dividing method for the method.
Above-mentioned technical matters is to solve for the method at the image data set segmenting structure by a kind of, and described method has following steps: carry out in image data set first of structure is cut apart; First obtain the first segmentation result cutting apart from this; In this image data set, selecting a zone on the basis of this first segmentation result; By the first band being set and the mark background area apart from selected zone the first distance toward the outer side; Mark structure is regional by at the second distance of the selected zone of distance towards the inboard the second band being set; In the background area of institute's mark and the basis of the structural region of institute's mark carry out and further cut apart; Show and/or store the segmentation result that this is further cut apart.
This according to method of the present invention in, at first in image data set, carry out first of structure cut apart and therefrom obtained the first segmentation result.This segmentation result can or be in the 2D layer etc. profile (Isokontur), i.e. a heavy diversity (1-Mannigfaltigkeit), or be in 3D data group homalographic (
Figure S2008101253079D00031
), be dual diversity (2-Mannigfaltigkeit).The below will be independent of dimension ground and describe the method.
On the basis of the first segmentation result that obtains, in this image data set, select a zone.With the first band be arranged on the selected zone of distance toward the outer side first apart from the d1.This first tape label the background area.
At this, different according to dimension, band is interpreted as respectively parallel profile (expression one heavy diversity) or the homalographic (representing dual diversity) of waiting.
The second band is arranged on the selected zone of distance on the second distance d2 of inboard.This second tape label structural region.In the background area of institute's mark and the basis of the structural region of institute's mark carry out and further cut apart, and show and/or store the segmentation result that this is further cut apart.That is to say " inside " or " outside " of the structure that concept " inboard " or " outside " expression are to be split.
The setting of band is automatically realized on the basis of the bandwidth of distance d1 and d2 and the first band and the second band by segmentation procedure, corresponding to the situation of image data set these distance and bandwidth given in advance.Usually, different according to resolution and image situation, the width of band between 1 and 20 pixels or more between.Distance is selected according to situation.Usually, distance is similarly several pixels, 3 to 5 pixels for example.
So that greatly simplified the cutting apart of structure, and reduce needed user's interactive quantity according to method of the present invention, because automatically carry out initialization to further cutting apart.This is further cut apart to have finished and cuts apart.
Can will be used in the different situations that the 3D rendering data component is cut according to method of the present invention advantageously.
On the one hand, has advantage in successively the cutting apart of 3D rendering data group.At this, with the first segmentation result of cutting apart in the ground floor of 3D rendering data group, project on the second layer adjacent with this ground floor of this 3D rendering data group.This Projection selection a zone in this second layer, in order to or band is placed in one.
By in the second layer adjacent with this ground floor to the automatic mark of background area and structural region, can in this second layer, for example utilize the GraphCut method promptly and under the condition that does not almost have further customer interaction, carry out and cut apart.Therefore, can carry out in the short period of time cutting apart successively.In the following description this way is called " band method (Ribbon Method) ".
On the other hand, can improve in a simple manner the surface of 3D rendering structure comprehensive from a plurality of layers segmentation result.For this reason, as the first segmentation result, will be from the segmentation result of successively cutting apart the surface of comprehensive 3D structure, be considered as dual multifarious (zweimannigfaltig) surface and be chosen as such zone, in order to or according to mode described above the first band and second is with and is placed in one.
Therefore cut apart (for example GraphCut method) by the method is initialized, " inboard " and the maximum uncontinuity between " outside " in the 3D structure are provided, and provide a kind of and be corrected and level and smooth surface.In the following description this way is called " 3D band method (Ribbon Method3D) ".
In addition, technical matters of the present invention still solves by a kind of graphics processing unit, and this graphics processing unit comprises: input block is used for input command; Display unit is used for the display image data group; Storage unit is used for storing and load image data group; And calculation element, utilize this graphics processing unit can implement according to method of the present invention.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows explanation according to the indicative flowchart of the flow process of method of the present invention.At this, in image data set, carry out first and cut apart (square frame 11), in order to obtain the first segmentation result (square frame 13).
On the basis of resulting segmentation result, in this image data set, select a zone (square frame 15).
Around selected region division the first band and the second band, so that mark background area and structural region (square frame 17).(square frame 19) further cut apart on basis in the zone of institute's mark.At last, show and/or store the segmentation result (square frame 21) that this step is cut apart.Below at first be explained in more detail this method about Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
Fig. 2 has represented the data group 31 of strong simplification, and it comprises structure to be split 33 and another structure 35.
Represent structure 33 by the area from upper left underscore to the right.By representing another structure 35 from the upper right to left down area of line.For the sake of clarity, background is shown as white.Contrast between two structures 33 and 35 only is faint.On the contrary, structure 33 or 35 and background between contrast then be strong.
Point A and B have marked the point that structure 33, another structure 35 and background are had a common boundary.
For segmenting structure 33, unique partitioning algorithm that user or can select is cut apart for whole perhaps can have so preferred possibility: utilize different ground, partitioning algorithm region-by-region to process image data set, as below will as described in.
If user selection a kind of partitioning algorithm based on the zone, in order to for example in following zone, structure 33 is cut apart, namely, this structure and another structure 35 are had a common boundary in this zone, what for example go out as shown is labeled as rectangular area 32 (dotted line) like that, and extend on the border in this rectangular area between the structure 33 and 35.This point can be by means of such as the input media that comprises mouse, carries out with the selection as the rectangular selection instrument of cursor according to common mode.
In addition, for the initialization based on the partitioning algorithm (for example GraphCut method) in zone, the user also selects zone 34 as the structural region 34 that belongs to structure 33 in the inside of structure to be split 33, and select as a setting zone 36, zone 36 in the outside of structure 33, wherein, in this association, all are not belonged to the background that is labeled as of structure 33 to be split.This point realizes by means of input media again, wherein also can provide other known selection tool as cursor for.
At this moment, the partitioning algorithm based on the zone after the initialization splits structure 33 in the selected zone 32 that surrounds by white dashed line.If the segmentation result in the zone 32 of institute's mark also is not no problem, then the user can be structural region or background area with other zone marker, until cutting apart of hope occurred meeting in zone 32.As this segmentation result of cutting apart, black solid line between the zone 33 and 35, extend to a B from an A according to clockwise direction has been shown in this example.
In order further to cut apart this structure to be split 33, a kind of partitioning algorithm based on profile of user selection this moment, for example Livewire method.For this zone to be split of mark, the user clicks a starting point at the profile of structure to be split 33 simply, clicking point B for example, and utilize cursor to be moved further along structure 33, be roughly according to clockwise direction at this.
At this, always calculate and show the segmentation result of the position from starting point B to cursor.This utilization based on the partitioning algorithm of profile cut apart during, the user can be on desired profile other point of mark as the point of fixity that is used for partitioning algorithm.
Thus, the user moves forward until arrive the terminal point of for example putting A.On this terminal point, the user finishes the mark for zone to be split, and side by side finishes to utilize based on the cutting apart of the partitioning algorithm of profile, for example by double-click on or with another mouse button click.Show the segmentation result that this is cut apart by the solid line that extends to the black of an A along clockwise direction from a B in this example.
If the user is also dissatisfied for relevant segmentation result, then it can reselect a kind of partitioning algorithm, and structure 33 does not also make its satisfactorily divided zone with proofreading and correct in order to again cut apart wherein.At this, the user also can adopt manual cutting apart.In addition, the user also can utilize another kind of partitioning algorithm that divided zone is cut apart again at this where necessary.In addition, also can adopt known corrective action, for example so-called " the Path Cooling " in the Livewire method.
If the user splits structure 33 completely for the segmentation result satisfaction that realizes and its, then it can be stored the segmentation result of realizing as the segmentation result of shown layer.
Fig. 3 in Fig. 2 with the example images data group 31 of structure to be split 33 and another structure 35 as example, illustrated according to method of the present invention, i.e. so-called " band method ".
The segmentation result 38 of adjacent layer is projected in the image data set 31, and select thus a zone.With first with 37 be arranged on apart from the segmentation result 38 of the adjacent layer of institute's projection toward the outer side first apart from the d1.At this, this first tape label background area 36.
Be arranged on segmentation result 38 apart from the adjacent layer of institute's projection with second on the second distance d2 of inboard with 39.At this, this first tape label structural region 34.
Suitably given in advance apart from d1 and d2 and first with 37 and second with 39 width.
After this automatic initialization based on the partitioning algorithm in zone, the user can continue cutting apart structure 33 as described above.
Utilize this mode greatly to simplify in 3D rendering data group cutting apart successively to structure, because omitted manual initialization.Thus, the user can extremely promptly pass through a plurality of layers of ground operation of the 3D rendering data group of multilayer.
If structure clash is a plurality of parts in certain layer, then respectively single part is cut apart, and subsequently they for example are comprehensive element by means of how much (Constructive solid geometry, CSG) unifications of constructive entity.This method for example is known as " division (Split) " and " merging (Merge) " method.
Among Fig. 4 by passing through one by the section of the comprehensive 3D structure 53 of six single divided layers with the area of shade is schematically illustrated.Limiting the solid line 58 of the black of this comprehensive 3D structure 53, is to be undertaken comprehensively forming by the segmentation result with the edge of single layer and layer.Therefore, line 58 expression is by the section on this comprehensive surface and the selected zone that is illustrated in thus this structure 53.
In addition, for " 3D band method " is described, shows in the outside of relevant section what toward the outer side distance D 1 arranged and first be with 57 (its mark background area).Similarly, this section also be included on the distance D 2 of inboard arrange second be with 59.
Again suitably distance D 1 given in advance and D2 and first with 57 and second with 59 width.
By means of based on the partitioning algorithm in zone, for example utilize the GraphCut method, can on the basis in the zone of institute's mark, again cut apart the dual multifarious surface of comprehensive structure 53.Thisly cut apart the uncontinuity that the maximum between " inboard " and " outside " in 3D rendering data group is provided, and the surface after the correction of 3D structure to be split is provided thus.
Fig. 5 schematically show cut apart and other by abundant known aftertreatment (for example, level and smooth and fidelity) section by the 3D structure among Fig. 4 afterwards.Obtained level and smooth surface 68.
At last, Fig. 6 shows for the schematic diagram of carrying out according to the graphics processing unit 40 of method of the present invention.
Graphics processing unit 40 comprises: input media 41 is used for for example by means of mouse or keyboard input command; Display device 42 is used for the display image data group; Memory cell 43 is used for storage and load image data group; And calculation element 44, be used for carrying out and calculate.
Realized that at graphics processing unit 40 component cuts algorithm, these partitioning algorithms are reciprocally combination on function corresponding to the present invention.
